\"\u201cANBA expert picks unsigned Amir Coffey to sharpen New York Knicks’ attack (Image Credit: Getty Images) NBA expert Michael Pina picked Amir Coffey, an unsigned free agent, as a possible figure who could bolster the New York Knicks\u2019 presence on the perimeter. He expressed surprise over Coffey being left unsigned for so long among the free agents. Coffey played for the Los Angeles Clippers as their forward, where he played the longest, other than Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac. Pina called him a dependable NBA rotation player and suggested that a good team should sign him. He suggested his move back to the Clippers is not possible due to luxury tax issues arising with his signing. <\/p>\n

Amir Coffey could be a fit for New York Knicks, as per NBA expert<\/p>\n

An NBA expert, Michael Pina, picked his five free agents from leftovers who deserved a contract with a good team, and Amir Coffey was one of them. He proposed the New York Knicks as a possible destination for the Western Conference sharp-shooting forward, citing his statistics as a good reason for the selection. He wrote in an article, dated July 29, on the Ringer:\u201cI\u2019ve always appreciated Coffey and never really understood why, over the years, he flickered in and out of Ty Lue\u2019s rotation. He\u2019s pretty good! Last season, he averaged a career-high 24.3 minutes per game (the exact same number as Derrick Jones Jr.) and made 40.9 percent of his 3s (which was a slight tick up from 38.0 percent in 2023-24),\u201d explaining the potential of the former Los Angeles Clippers forward.He concluded, by writing, \u201cBottom line: This is a dependable NBA rotation player. Why don\u2019t the Golden State Warriors sign him? Or the New York Knicks? Or the Miami Heat? There\u2019s something virtuous in every role player who accepts self-denial as a survival mechanism. That\u2019s Coffey, a professional conformist with skills that accentuate those of his more talented teammates. A good team should sign him.\u201dAmir Coffey, according to Pina, has the correct skill set needed by the Knicks to fill their sharp-shooting position on the perimeter.<\/p>\n
